Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a 6-quart pot or a deep 4-quart skillet over high heat.
Remove the husks from 6 ears corn on the cob and any silk. Cut the cobs in half.
Add 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup salted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepperto the boiling water. Allow the butter to melt and return the pot to a simmer.
Add the prepared corn cobs to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and allow the corn to simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, until tender.
Remove the cobs from the liquid and serve hot.

There shouldn't be any need to add any additional butter or salt and pepper to serve.
Garlic lover? Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic to the mixture and allow the corn to soak in the garlic infused liquid.
